Jacob Mutemeri Harare International Airport Obatwa Achiba Mafuta Endege Achitoisa Zvake Muzvigaba

A 49-year-old Air Zimbabwe employee, Jacob Mutemeri, appeared in court accused of stealing Jet A1 fuel from his employer’s plane at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport. [SLIDE]

 

 

 

 

 

Mutemeri was charged with theft and granted US$150 bail by a Harare magistrate. He is set to return to court on January 23, 2025. The allegations date back to November 2024, when a Boeing 737 named “Mbuya Nehanda” returned from Botswana and was parked for maintenance. The plane had reported a fuel leak and was carrying 6.3 tonnes of fuel. Instead of ensuring the plane was secured, Mutemeri allegedly devised a plan to steal the fuel while it awaited service.

 

 

 

Between November 15 and 22, 2024, Mutemeri reportedly drained fuel from the aircraft nightly. Using an Air Zimbabwe Nissan Navara vehicle, he would drive to the hangar where the plane was parked and transfer the fuel into containers. Surveillance caught him entering the hangar multiple times,

 

 

 

including on November 15, 16, and 18, always exiting through Gate A3 in the early hours of the morning. His actions were eventually discovered, leading to his arrest and court appearance.

Asbestos Exposure Lawyer: What Workers And Families Should Know

Asbestos was widely used in construction, insulation, shipyards, factories, power plants, automotive products, and military settings. Years later, exposure may lead to mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. An asbestos exposure lawyer helps victims seek compensation.

rnrn

People at risk may include construction workers, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, shipyard workers, factory workers, military veterans, and family members exposed through asbestos fibers carried home on clothing.

rnrn

Asbestos claims require proof of exposure. A lawyer may review work history, job sites, product records, union documents, and company records.

rnrn

Many asbestos-related diseases appear decades after exposure. This makes legal investigation important because victims may not remember every product or location involved.

rnrn

Compensation may help with treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and family support.

If asbestos exposure caused illness, victims may have legal rights even if the exposure happened many years ago.
